come on, mr. president

come on, mr. president
your new job
doesn’t come with
a requirement to put the world
at risk or war––

we already have quite
sufficient nuclear
capacity to
eradicate all
humanity

& nearly every
living thing
on holy earth
many times
over

we’ve invested more than
50 years of sanity
containing the proliferation
of nuclear arms––

life is terrifying & sleepless
as it is
without
more
nukes

putin is impressively
clever––
but it’s his tug-boat
against our
ocean liner

to quote Mayor Bloomberg:
"don’t blow it!"

our earth’s ice caps
are melting away––

the seas are
rising––

you owe it to your
legacy to look
& see––

the welfare
of generations unborn
is in your
hands––

be considerate enough
not to end the
future of humanity––
for your ego’s
sake

the Presidency of the
United States is
a full-time commitment––

you are welcomed to
resign if you
think your business comes
first

the white house
belongs to The People––

it might be considered
trumpy if you tack
the golden letters of your name
on the front of it

please remember,
you lost the election
by popular
vote

inconsistency is the trademark
of a leader
no one can follow
